译文：人们也许能从年度报告里发现有用的信息。
解析：情态动词could表示推测，除could外，情态动词must, can, may, might都可表示推测。have to意为“不得不”；dare意为“敢”，根据句意，正确答案应该是C。 20. Look! __________.
A. Here are the bus comes B. Here comes the bus C. The bus here come 答案：B
译文：看！公交车来了。

does not knock a candidate out of consideration. An interview is like a test, getting an 85 or 90 might be good enough to get the job.
Visualizing success can improve performance and help ease anxiety. Always try imagining positive interactions with your interviewer, particularly in the hours just before your interview.
To some extent, relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation or breathing exercises, can manage anxiety. If your anxiety around interview is excessive, you might consider seeing a doctor to develop effective countermeasures.

Cross training is training an employee to do a different part of the organization's work. Training worker A to do the task that worker B does and training B to do A’s task is cross training. Cross training is good for managers because it provides more flexibility in managing the workforce to get the job done. On the other hand, cross training has some benefits for the employees as well. It lets them learn new skills, makes them more valuable, keeps them stimulated and reduces worker boredom.
Cross training can be used in almost any position in almost any industry.I cross trained some of my design engineers to go on field installation trips and get first hand knowledge of how their designs worked, or didn’t work, in the field. Cashiers can be trained to stock shelves and stockers trained to cashier. This allows you to quickly open additional registers if the customer queue gets too long.
As you prepare cross training plans, you need to consider both the company benefits and the employee benefits. Carefullyselect the employees to be cross trained. Some people
like to learn new things. Some are more comfortable sticking to what they know. Don’t decide which employees are ready for a change based on their age or performance.
26. Cross training is training an employee to do a different job in a different company. 27. Cross training is beneficial not only for managers but also for employees. 28. Cross training can apply to almost any position and almost any industry. 29. Not all employees are suitable to be cross trained.
30. You can decide which employees to be cross trained according to their age. 解析：

27. 这是一道细节题。根据文章一段第三、四句我们可以得知，交叉培训为经理管理员工完成工作提供了更多的灵活性，也对员工自己有好处，所以选T。
28. 这是一道细节题。根据文章第二段第一句我们可以得知，交叉培训基本可以适用于任何行业、任何职位，所以选T。
29. 这是一道推断题。根据文章第三段第三、四句我们可以得知，一些员工喜欢学习新事物，一些员工坚持做自己熟悉的工作才感到舒服，所以选T。
30. 这是一道细节。根据文章第三段最后一句我们可以得知，不要根据员工的年龄或者绩效来判断哪些员工已经做好改变的准备。所以选F。
四、翻译（每小题4分，共20分）
31~35题：英译汉，从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答案序号写在答题纸上。
31. I don’t know why he is late, he might have had an accident. A. 我不知道他为何迟到，可能遇上了事故。 B. 我不知道他为何没有迟到，很有可能遇上了事故。 C. 我不知道他为何迟到，一定是遇上了事故。
答案：A
解析：情态动词可以表示讲话者对客观事物的主观看法。常用来表示推测的情态动词有 might, may, can, must等，表示的可能性程度由弱变强。must表示“一定”, can则一般用于疑问句或否定句中，might表示“也许”，语气最弱。所以答案是A。
32. Stress around interviews is often influenced by our assumptions we make to ourselves about the process. 1. 2. 3.
来自面试的压力会影响我们对面试过程的推测。 揣测会影响面试压力，我们只要关注过程。 我们自己对面试过程的揣测往往会影响面试压力。
答案：C
解析：“we make to ourselves about the process” 是that引导的定语从句，修饰assumption, that省略，意为“我们对面试过程所做的揣测”，所以答案是C。 33.Will you be involved in opening the new office? A.你会加入新办公室吗？
B.你会参与开设新办公室的工作吗？ C.你会被卷入到新办公室的工作中吗？ 答案：B
解析：be involved in意为“参与，卷入”；opening the new office意为“开设新办公室”，所以答案是B。
34. We should present data in tables or charts so that the report may not be boring with facts alone.
